Bollox lol , back to square one 😆

Thanks mate , I will look into this. Thanks for the advice. Your bike looks brilliant by the way wish I was near those mountains

Thank you very much for the info. I do a lot of bike tracks but I enjoy mostly finding routes up mountains and just general unknown trail riding so there is a mix. I currently have a lapierre am 927i 27.5/ 27.5 in Large ( bought second hand) but frame has snapped and no warranty ( long story) I...

Thanks mate. Any advice well appreciated. Just waiting for some stock to come in. Frames not gonna be here till Christmas so plenty of time to get some good priced stuff.

No that's great. Bearing in mind I've ordered the 17" frame, ill order one of these. https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/rockshox-zeb-ultimate-29-debon-air-tapered-boost-983275 In 170mm Thanks for the advice. I'm only 1.70m tall so have gone for the 17" frame. I do like quite steep rocky...

So get the ze 29" 170mm ( could I go 180? ) And put a 29 on front , 27.5 on back? Thanks

I'm just resigned to the fact that I'm gonna use all the parts on a new frame. I'll take it easy on it for next couple of months until new build is done then I'll just get a carbon frame for this to replace

Hence why it snapped again. It will last me for a few months whilst I build new bike then I will replace it . Thanks

Thanks for the reply. At the moment I'm just going to build a second bike around the dengfu E10. Parts ordered so once that build is complete I'll come back to getting a replacement frame for this bike as I can see I'm going to have to alter lots of wiring looms to make it fit, so I can't be...

Please excuse the question but I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger, can anyone confirm that these are correct items for my 17" frame I've ordered?

So pretty long saga. Have a lapierre overvolt 927i , bought it second hand , either lost or didn't receive the receipt (long long story) sellers AWOL now, been in contact with Raleigh , they arent happy to talk as I've no receipt and I'm not the original.purchaser. anyway I've reconciled with...

I have a fox transfer on my lapierre , however I'm sick of it getting gummed up, and the service tools / process is not worth it. Had it serviced once but it's doing it again so any recommendations on a good , easy to DIY service your self dropper post? Thanks

It's all water soluble anyway, but not once it's curred .... People add glitter and stuff because it helps to plug the small holes. Slime comes with micro boards of plastic and little bits of fibres in it. If you make your own slimes these are effective ingredients. I do sometimes add a few...

Yeah man , that's my plan , I'm gonna get 100 miles on new chain first and then get another and swap at intervals........ Learning as I go along. I'm very practically minded, so I've no problems doing the work.

Hanger is fine and it's an electronic shifter and I've checked alignment. It's definitely the results of.chain stretch / wear n tear
